We've lived in our home for 35 years, ... Fire has always stopped in the foothills. I never thought it would reach our home.

Actually, I was asleep during the fire. I came out while they were still putting it out...All of the smoke woke me up and I just got up, went to the door and saw all of the flames and then when I saw all of the flames I just ran straight out of the door and then the firemen had grabbed me.

From then on, it was forever looking for a home. But there was never any real fire to make the movie within the system.

as if fire was shooting through my veins. Now I might marry, set up my own home and plough my own field.

That fire just engulfed (their home), trapped them in there. It was fast, fast moving.

And at home by the fire, whenever you look up, there I shall be - and whenever I look up, there you shall be
